The RNC Gets Results — Fox Won't Produce Hillary Clinton Project

BOSTON — The same day the Republican National Committee agreed to a
resolution that barred the party from participating in
debates with NBC and CNN, Fox Television Studios reportedly has
canceled plans to produce a miniseries centered on Hillary
Clinton for NBC.

The Hollywood Reporter reported Friday that
Fox will not produce the miniseries, which will star Diane Lane.
The planned miniseries has caused something of a revolt among
members of the NBC News staff, as anchor Chuck Todd predicted it would be a "total nightmare."

The RNC immediately jumped on the news here as a sign that NBC
should cancel the production of the miniseries.

“We’ve said from the beginning that what matters is who is
airing the production promoting Hillary Clinton ahead of a 2016
presidential campaign," RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said in
a statement.

"Between NBC reporters vocally opposing the miniseries and
now the production studio pulling its product, it’s clear NBC’s
talking points are falling apart and they should cancel their
Hillary Clinton production."

Earlier on Friday, the RNC passed unanimously a resolution that
will prevent NBC and CNN from hosting Republican primary debates
unless the networks cease production of their projects on
Clinton.

The vote to pass the resolution came after Priebus delivered a
fiery speech that earned him multiple standing ovations.

"The media overplayed their hand this time. It was so obvious
even liberals saw it. After we took a stand, we found some
unlikely allies on the left," Priebus told a crowd of delegates
and RNC officials.
